September 1870 CE
It provides that the remainder of Osage land in Kansas be sold and the proceeds used to relocate the tribe to Indian Territory in the Cherokee Outlet.
By delaying agreement with removal, the Osage benefit by a change in administration.
They sell their lands to the "peace" administration of President Ulysses S. Grant, for which they receive more money: one and a quarter dollars an acre rather than the nineteen cents previously offered to them by the U.S.
